Why You May Want To Hire A Professional Painter Instead Of Taking On The Job Alone

by Trish



We lead extremely busy lives these days and because of this, finding time to do those little projects around the house, such as paint, can prove to be quite difficult. Instead of trying to cram your days to their maximum capacity, why not find someone else who can get the job done for you? This will give you more time to focus on what’s most important in life; such as your family and staying healthy. While DIY jobs can be fun, never feel as though you need to take on everything on your own because there are always plenty of options to choose from. Sometimes spending a little more cash now is more beneficial to you in the long run.


Save Yourself Time

As we touched on above, hiring a professional to do something you may technically be able to do on your own is going to save your household quite a bit of time. It can actually save you money as well, if taking on a job for the very first time. Typically, mistakes are going to happen. At least if you hire a professional, you are going to be able to rest assured knowing they have completed similar jobs hundreds, if not thousands of times before. If you so choose, you don’t even have to be home during the entire paint job. You can enjoy your family, go on vacation or take that much-needed hiking getaway; knowing the entire time you are away that everything is being taken care of effectively and efficiently.

Preparation: Avoid It

Did you know one of the most time consuming aspects of most DIY jobs is the preparation? You need to make sure you have all your proper tools, your safety gear, etc. When you aren’t the one taking the task head on, you don’t have to worry about any of this. An experienced painter will always have everything they need with them. For someone who is new to a particular type of project, organization may be tricky, causing much more time to be wasted.

Keep Your Family Safe

Staying safe is one of the most important things in life. Not only do you want to protect yourself but you want to protect your family as well. By hiring a professional painter to do the job, you are keeping yourself and your family away from the toxic fumes that paint work exposes those in the surrounding areas to. If you are looking for ways to keep the kids out of the house, why not take them to the park or to a friend’s house and let the magic happen while you’re away?

If heights are a fear of yours, as they are with many people around the globe, then you’ll probably be pretty excited to have someone else climb up on your roof if the paint job requires doing so. Even if you aren’t worried about it and have done it many times before in the past, it really isn’t worth the risk. A paid painter is going to have all the right safety equipment to get the job done without putting anyone at risk and since they’ve probably done similar jobs often, they are going to know which precautions to take to keep them the safest as well as the most productive. On a side note, it’s very important to make sure the person or company you hire has documentation to prove they have insurance just to be on the safe side. Even the most experienced of painters can have accidents, so verify coverage and you should be golden.

The start of another Staycation

by The Diva

My husband has next week off work. No he’s not on holiday. Unfortunately he’s on temporary lay off from work, but you know what, we’re going to treat it like a holiday. We’re just not going to spend much money – because we don’t have any to spend!

I realized the other day that we haven’t brought our dog to the dog beach yet this year. We normally bring her several times each summer. It’s very odd that we haven’t brought her to Cherry beach yet. So … unless the weather is bad on Monday I think we’re going to go to the beach. Chris and I can camp out on the sand and Midnight can frolic in the water like she loves to do.

Maybe later in the week we’ll get the hitch bike racks on the car and take our bikes to a park with some great bike trails and go for a really good bike ride. If my knee can handle it of course.

I guess you’d call this a staycation. Oh and the Beaches Jazz Festival is on right now, with the Beaches Street Jazzfestival being on next week when my husband is off … so well definitely go and do that. We can even bring the dog to that one if we want. So this is ok. It’s great that we live in a city with so much to do!

I want a real vacation this summer

by The Diva

I haven’t been on a holiday in ages. I was just thinking about it and realized that my husband and I really haven’t been anywhere for quite a while. We didn’t go anywhere for vacation last year or the year before …. so this year I think we should try to go somewhere.

I keep hearing about Outer Banks vacation rentals so I might look into that as place for us to go this coming July.

Have you been to the Outer Banks? If you have, do you have any suggestions as to what we can do there? Did you enjoy your time there?

Finding A Discount Flight On The Internet

by The Diva

Many frequent flyers appear to be conversing more about airfare deals and getting the best price at the best possible time to travel. At many different places around the World, ticket prices seem to fluctuate significantly. However, it is possible to fly to many destinations for considerably less than the full standard fare,with the assistance of a good travel agent and a little research.

A key factor to getting a good deal is flexibility. To save money airlines will slot people into empty seats, so if you’re willing to modify your dates to suit the airlines program, then you can benefit on their decision. A hefty cancellation fee will be charged against you by many airlines, if after you have booked your flight, you switch the date.

Cheap airfare deals can be found everywhere you look on the internet. Have a look at a review flight website like Virgin Cheap Travel. There are many airfare reviews of the major airlines helping you find the deal and pice of mind you need when booking.

Frequent flyer usually end up getting the best deals when looking for discount flights. The numerous ‘Frequent Flyer’ programs usually provide incentives for customer loyalty. Usually you will earn points as a regular flyer which can be exchanged for flight tickets of other goods.

The internet is the number one source for finding online deals. Beware of the internet sites that are specializing in selling airline tickets at a discount, they could be legitimate but it is always best to book your flight with known discount agents. {The problem is that people often have a hard time in confirming the legitimacy of these sites before they are committed to making a payment.It is very difficult to tell whether these sites are legitimate or not.} Try telephoning the booking of your flight or even visit their offices if they are local. If the company if of good standing they should have a telephone number on the site. Find out exactly which airline you have booked your flight with, that is important to know.

On a daily basis the number of airline deals are on the increase as competition in the skies increases.
